by n Good Law.

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, June 9.-The

to be elected by the city and five by
the suburbs, Every voter may desig-
nate upon his ballot his choice for

lieved that the adoption of the new
method Of election which the bill pro-
vdes for will prevent for ali time the

The most striking feature of the
Mormon institution to the new observer.
says Salt Lake letter to The New
York Times. is its alien aspect-the
preponderance of foreigners among
the men and women who compose the
congregations in the meeting houses,
and especially of that class of English
people who have confus cd ideas as to
the correct place OF the letter. "h" in
the language. 1t is asserted that four
tifths of the Mormon people are for
eign, and that fonr-iif tbs of these are
from the mo st iliterate of the popula-
tons of the British islands. At a flu
neral recently of prom nent member
of ward church. whose bishop sent
a letter Of coincidence from the ''pen,"
as the peni Tertiary is tersely and sig.
nificantly abbreviated here, eight men
Of respectable appearance made eulo-
CYSTIC remarks up on the deceased (who
was himself an Englishman), all of
whom. with one exception, from his
style and tone, was probably not an
American. In the Sunday school the
leaders are mainly of this class, Eng
lsh or Scotch, and most of the teach
ers, not of the rising generation are
of the same class. In the great con-
gregations of the tabernacle the voices
and language heard on two successive
Sundays, both in the preachers desk
and among the people, strengthen this
impress ion of the former character of
Mormonism. Apart from its origin in
the United States, Mormonism is alien
to our country in spirit and methods,
and, but for its foreign recruits, would
have died as the Oneida community
and kindred outrages upon decency
and humanity have died. Being for
eign to our thought and institutions,
it is also disloyal to them in its funda-
mental teachings and practices. A few
Sundays ago the preacher in the taber
nacle gave his entire discourse to de-

but it was really the assertion of de-
term nation to disre gard the law of
the land when it runs counter to the
claw of God" as they style their doc
trine of polyg amy. and an exhortation
to the saints to do likewise. In the
presence of this marked foreign quality
of Mormonism the "gentiles" have
learned to speak of themselves as
Americans, and one hears the classili-
cation Mormon" and American rs
frequently as Saint and gentle.
Americans in business complain of a
disadvantage they labor under from
another foreign practice which has al
ways prevailed here; they are rigidly
''boycotted' by the Mormons, while
the American population do not "boy-
cot'' the Mormons in return.

Ben Butler, representing the Burton Car
company, addressed the interstate COM
mission: He reviewed the testimony in
respect to the damaged condition OF stock
transported in the ordinary car, declaring
that the suffering of the animals produced
disease, which in turn affected the health
OF the consumer. The testimony showed
that the roads accepted every kind OF cars,
except what they choose to call the palace
cattle car. The testimony showed that
the respondents had Disseminated against
the Burton company. The interstate law
was only q slight shower. The next warn
ing the roads would get would be an ava
lanche. The point was made that the COM
mission had no right to prescribe what
kind OF ear the railroads should use.
Judge Shellabarger, representing the same
roads, argued: While the Burton COM
pany was not a common carrier, in its
primary capacity, when it came as in this
complaint before the commission, repre-
senting that it's cars were accepted by 100
railroad companies, it came as n common
carrier, and was therefore the subject OF
the provision of the interstate law, which
relieved railroad companies from the neces-
sity Of furnishing tracks and terminal facili-
ties to their rivals.

ssOAA0ACsC CtOIy EIOAH ARMY AACs
An army officer is quoted as telling
a most romantic story of q brother
officer, who graduated with him from
West Point many years ago. Shortly
afterward this friend married q pretty
girl, and for time things went
smoothly. but John Barleycorn, who
has killed more soldiers than have
ever fallen in battle, got the best of
him and he went to the dogs rapidly.
Finally he threw up his position in the
army, deserted his young wife and for
years nothing was heard of him. At
last news came to the poor woman
that the worthless wretch was dead,
and after Il time she married another
officer and they moved out to his STA
ton at one of the far Western posts.
In the meantime it seems that her
first husband was not dead, but, after
years Of debauchery and wandering,
reformed. EIe then began to make in
quires for the woman he had deserted.
Nothing was known OF her, and after
along and fruitless search he was forced
to the conclusion that she had given
up the struggle. He came to Wash
ington, where, through the assistance
ofsome influential friends, he procured
an appointment in the army. Then
believing himself free he married again
and took his wife to the frontier post
to which he was ordered-the same at
which his first wife was living. The
meeting, the shock of mutual recogni-
ton, the deep shame of the terrible
situation. is something to which no pen
can do justice. What were they to
do? The question has not } ct reached
a satisfactory settlement.

Man "a Bundle OfHabits. "

A certain writer declares that man is
only "a bundle of habits" An IN
spired writer inquiries: ''Can the Eth
opian change his skin or the leopard
his spots then may ye do good who
are accustomed to do evil" A man
told the writer that he formed the hab-
it of drinking glass of water every
morning on rising, as gentle cathar-
tic, but when he wished to drop as
simple habit as this he found it d fiji
cult. But how much harder to aban-
don any which has intrenched itself in
some abnormal appetite. Especially is
this SO if the habit is formed in early
life.
Let young person form the habit
of over-eating, especially of rich food
or corrections, and he has a demon
which may buffet him through life. We
cannot over-rate the danger and dam
age from the drinking habits of this
country, especially of the foreign popu-
lation; but it is a serious question
whether the habit of over-eating does
not really induce more diseases and
death than strong drink. One writer:
aftirms that ten persons die from over
eating where one dies from drinking,
from the simple fact that every one
eats and most people eat too much.
while only a fraction of the people take
intoxicating liquors. At any rate. Sol

ton in the same boat, and unless they
take heed they will go over the same
fatal cataract together Our hired
girl. who recently came from the north
of Ireland and has not yet formed the
habit of heavy eating, requires only
about two thirds the amount of food that
an average American woman would
consume. Candies are distasteful to
her; cakes, pies and buildings she cares
little for, and eats very little meat. And
yet she is well-formed. healthy
woman, with teeth as sound rs flint,
and muscles rs strong as a mans. In

The American teeth tell the sad tale
of gorged stomachs, with acid forma-
tons which destroy the enamel of the

such teeth we should know that their

food that we can properly digest.

some cases, as hard to relinquish as

Barnum on Drink,

Although P. T. Barnum is a strong
temperance man now, he acknowledges
that there was time when he loved to
look upon the bourbon when it had a
bead on it, and to regard when lump
of sugar in the gin stirred itself Alright
That was a good many years ago, how
overriding in the forties. He drank
for good fellowship and because it
made him feel like good fellow him.
self.
But at length he observed that the
desire for drink came more and more
often. He began to neglect his bust
ness. He knew this by the number of
dead-heads that got into his museum.
He caught himself addressing endear-
ing words to his mermaid" and one
day, after imbibing rather more than
usual, he came into his museum and
throwing his arms in an affectionate
manner around the neck of the '.woolly
horse" he called him his "bes' hic-
frsn'." That settled it. He resolved
to drink no more, and has kept his res.
olution to this day.
Mr.. Barnum in his lecture urges
young men to adopt total abstinence as
rule if they would succeed in life.
and many would find it profitable to
follow his advice. While they Nigh,

show on earth, they would have q
